8 Overpowered Video Game Spells (That Totally SUCK)

Seriously what sort of sadists over at Nintendo are in charge of the Mario Party games?

Ever since its inception, the franchise has sold itself on bringing together friends for a night of light-hearted fun, but as anyone who's played even a single round of these games can tell you, this is the worst and quickest way to end a friendship even with those who have been in your stable for decades.

Arguments over mini games, hurt feelings over using items to screw others over, and of course the laser death stare that you feel on your face that comes from stealing stars from your besties.

I tell you that Battle Royale film has nothing on what goes down with these games.

And to act as the killing blow to any potential Christmas Card lists comes The Miracle Capsule from Mario Party 5 which acts as a spell of such epic devastation that it not only ruins friendships but doesn't even bloody work nine times out of ten. And yes I'm counting this item as a spell because the word Miracle is in the title and because this puts the grim in grimoire.

The gimmick here is that by collecting three Miracle Capsules the person in last place will be able to steal all the stars from the person in first place, yet even this simple explanation is filled with headscratching decisions. Is it worth taking up all your slots to try and collect these super rare items? What if you run out of time looking for them and more importantly what if you're not in last place as it only works for that player!

It's a spell of confusion, disappointment, the regret of time wasted, and just a whole heaping of double sadness.
